learned, was driving a team of horses at
tached to an ordinary wagon loaded with
coal on East Twentieth street yesterday
afternoon, the animals became frightened
at a passing object and, despite the efforts
of the driver to control them, dashed east
ward at brcakneck speed. The wagon
was overturned and the. contents scattered
for half a square. Luckily the driver
sustained no injuries beyond a few slight
bruises. The horses were exhausted but
unframed when captured. while the We.

A perusal of the review of early jour
nalism in Colorado and contemporaneous
events FURNISHED the recollection of many
an old timer who had almost forgotten
exciting incidents which were then re-
garded as ordinary and natural occur
ences.
Among these pioneers is Charley Roath,
of this city. He was in Denver, then
called Cherry creek, when the Neacs made
its first appearance, and wildly recalls the
rush for the supplement published June,
IL, 1859, containing the famous Greeley
report, a document prepared by the la,
mented Horace, the now famous Henry
Willard and A. D. Richardson, who had
been detailed by the journals they repre-
scented to visit the kansas Gold mines. s"
Their exhaustive and favorable comment
caused intense excitement and induced
thousands to hasten TO the new colorado.
After the removal of the NetrS from its
p]retcntiOus log cabin to more suitable
quarters, Mr.. Roath and several printers
took possession of the abandondcd struct-
ure and made their headquarters there for
some time.

A uniformed stray from Fort Russell
who entered a number of city saloons
about midnight last night was evidently
laboring under an hallucination of some
sort. Perhaps he was suffering from that
strange phenomenon, ozone intoxication.
At any rate the man, by his strange ac-
tons impressed those with whom he came
in contact as being a fit candidate for the
lunatic asylum. He would inquire the
route to the post and being shown would
start off in the opposite direction despite
the shouts of his intormants requesting
him to return and telling him of his error.
The man repeated the performance half
a dozen times, much to the amusement
of a crowd which assembled to observe his
queer actions.

Mayor Lee, of Denver, has taken a
stand upon the gambling question which
lone of his predecessors in office dared
assume He has decreed that every
house in the city shall be closed, and adds
that the order will be enforced to the let
ter indefinitely. Many of the Denver
sports will doubtless emigrate to this city.
This edict of the mayors is particularly
unfortunate for Robt. Austin, formerly
of this city. He recently fitted magnif-
cent club rooms in Colorado's capital and
disposed of his interests here.

From 2 to 6 o'clock Monday afternoon
the Ladies' A Auxiliary will keep open house
at the Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters. Re-
freshments will be served during the hours
mentioned.
In the evening there will be be a grand
literary, musical and athletic entertain
ment for the benefit of the association.
The programme has been carefully ar
ranged and the best local talent procura-
bic engaged for the occasion. Those in
terested in the affair are confident that it
will exceed the expections of all and be
worthy of patronage. In view of the
fact that ne travelling company has visited
the city for several weeks it goes without
saying that the house will be crowded.

Fred Hoffman, yesterday made a GRIM
inal complaint against Ed. Mcpherson.
the man who attempted to murder him
Thursday night, as stated in THE LEADER
yesterday morning. The accused will be
given a hearing this afternoon. McPher-
son is still confined in the city Jail. He is
very reticent, and will venture no re-
marks beyond a dogged denial of his
guilt. 1t should be noted that Hofmann
displayed considerable bravery in pursuing
the armed man, being himself provided
with no weapon.

= Coal and wood thieves are abroad every
night now. They raid the Union Pacific,
local fuel agents and all convenient store
houses, The company employs a watch,
man to protect their fuel, but despite his
vigilance the needy succeed in gathering
a sufficient SUI pply to render purchase I'M
necessary. In the majority of cases the
watchmen are satisfied with compelling
the ~depredators to depart empty handed,
rightly presuming that arrest and prose-
cution would not remedy the evil.

Killed III Montana.

Jas. Mclaughlin, of this city, last
evening received the following brief tele-
gram:
Patrick McShane was killed in a wreck
here to-day. Please send his uncle's ad-
dress.
Patrick McShane, the victim of a fatal
accident, was well known in this city. For
two years prior to 1885 he was employed
by the Union Pacific and resided in this
city. He was sober and industrious and
had many warm friends. 1t is supposed
that he was fireman on a locomotive at
the time he met his death.
Rev. Father Rooney, of Toronto, Can
ada, is the uncle of deceased referred to in
the telegram.

1t is about settled that another Catholic
church will be erected early in the spring
of 1883.
The site of the second structure will be
on the south side of the Union Pacific
tracks.
The additional edifice will doubtlessly
be a c~ommodious building, as the con-
stituents of the church residing in that
locality number several hundred.
The church at present used is entirely
too small for the use of the vast congre-

A great misty ring encircled the moon

good or bad weather, according to the ac-

Don't forget the school election on the

county uniformity of text books to be

There is considerable talk of turning
the attention to broom corn. It is too
late this year, but next year some two
hundred acres Will be planted in this
section. Let us have home factory.
A township organization is what we
want now. A petition which had been
circulated and signed by nearly the num-
Der required was shown us, and the
territory not canvassed yet. Organization
must come as soon as sufficiently settled.
The Ogallah correspondent must be
gerry busy, indeed. We are more in favor
here of stable growth than OF any mush-
room booming. We have natural advan-
tages, and are not city, but farming
community. May they prosper also, is
our wish.
Bestor & Haughton finished shearing
last week, and sold their entire wool clip
some 5000 pounds-for 81 cents, the
highest price yet since the ranch started.
Sheep will take a rise soon, and now is
the time to invest, in order to realize the
advance.
We paid visit to the pottery one day
this week. Mr.. Thomas has burnt
his first kiln of brick and enough pottery
ware to test it, and says that it will burn
a beautiful blue when it has been heated
sufficiently. His bricks are excellent, and
he offers them at $40 per thousand at the
kiln.
AS our warblings did not get in for the
mail last week, many items then are of no
use now, but we-wil not fail to mention
that Miss Libbie Wilcox is among us
again, after an absence Of nearly year at
Bethany College. We presume nothing
but the love of learning could have kept
her from home so long, and, Judging by
appearances, the time was we'll spent.
Here in our section we are mostly OPP
posed to the courthouse bonds, to be
voted upon July IL. We don't want the
county seat, but neither do we think we
can afford 90 much for something un-
needed at present. What we do want is
an $1,000 bridge on the Smoky, at least
as badly as we want the other. Will Wa
Keeney help us to build it?
